Service Processors Supported in IBM Netfinity and IBM eServer xSeries Servers

The following table lists the service processors that are standard and optional in IBM System x servers, including the older xSeries and Netfinity families of servers.

For more information about support of these devices, see the IBM ServerProven program, http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/

The values in the table have the following meaning:

• Standard: The service processor comes standard with the server, either in the form of a chip or an adapter. If Standard is shown in the Interconnect column, this indicates that the service processor can be connected to an ASM interconnect bus with no additional hardware (other than a Cat5 cable).
• Optional: The service processor can be purchased as an option. If Optional is shown in the Interconnect column, this indicates that support is provided if an RSA or RSA II is installed.
• No: The server does not support the service processor. If No is shown in the Interconnect column, this indicates that the server does not support the interconnect bus.
• Cable kit: To connect one of the older service processor to an interconnect bus, an ASM Interconnect Cable Kit, part 03K9309, is required. (Note: This kit may no longer be avaliable from IBM but may be available from other sources.) This kit contains the following components:

Notes from the table:

1. The server needs the latest system BIOS, ISMP firmware, and RSA II firmware to support the Remote Supervisor Adapter II.
2. Supports the ASM interconnect by purchasing a Remote Supervisor Adapter or Remote Supervisor Adapter II (whichever is supported).
3. The xSeries 330 (8654, 8674, 8675) supports the Remote Supervisor Adapter as a gateway only. The onboard ASMP provides all the system management functions. For x330 models 8674 and 8675, you should install the I2C cable (20-pin cable), which will be used to provide the Remote Supervisor Adapter with power. The external AC power supply will only be used for redundancy. However, on the x330 model 8654, you should not install the I2C cable (20-Pin Cable), but you must use the external AC power supply that is supplied with the adapter.
4. The xSeries 335 uses Cable Chain Technology (C2T) for the interconnect connection between the servers. If an xSeries 335 server is the last server in the chain, do not install the terminator because the server is self terminating. See the xSeries 335 User’s Guide for details on how to configure the interconnect.
5. The xSeries 343 and xSeries 382 have a built-in service processor that provides system management functions. Installing additional service processors in this system is not supported. See the server documentation for more information.
6. The xSeries 445 supports the Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA, part 13N0382, but not the Remote Supervisor Adapter II, part 59P2984.
7. The xSeries 335 supports the Remote Supervisor Adapter II; however, the C2T function of the x335 will not work with the RSA II because the adapter's video disables the onboard video. Customers will need to install an RSA II in every x335, if they want to use the remote video functionality of the RSA II. See http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-54747.html for more information.
8. The ASMP in the xSeries 135 8654 is a standard component on the system planar but not supported by the preloaded software.
